American Flags : Colorado State Flag



Colorado Flag History : The flag of Colorado was adopted in 1911. Its official specifications were mysteriously altered with that the red C with the yellow center should be much smaller and placed immediately next to the flagstaff. In March 1964, the flag was made "legal". Colorado is known as the Centennial State, or the Columbine State. The red C can stand for either of these or for the state name. Colorado was ruled by Spain for many years and the name meaning "red" in Spanish.
